On a standalone basis, Noble Iron’s equipment rental and distribution segment generated an Adjusted EBITDA of $4.4 million, compared to $2.7 million in 2012. Net losses for 2013 totaled $4.9 million, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in 2012. The Company’s increase in net losses year-over-year was driven by $6.4 million of non-cash expense for depreciation and amortization in 2013 as a result of continued investment in rental fleet, and a decrease in Deferred Income Tax Recoveries from $1.4 million in 2012 to $0.5 million in 2013.

Nabil Kassam, Noble Iron’s Founder, Chairman & CEO, commented, “2013 was a year of continued growth while also focusing on building our operational infrastructure. We look forward to further investing in our team, technology and logistics capabilities to build a platform that radically improves the lives of users, owners and vendors of construction and industrial equipment, and all members of the Noble Iron family.”

Non-IFRS Measures
References in this press release to Adjusted EBITDA are to earnings before interest expense, deferred income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation, gain on fair value increment on acquisition (net of deferred income taxes), acquisition expenses, accretion on convertible debt, interest on convertible debentures, severances and foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by investors to compare issuers on the basis of ability to generate cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not an earnings measure recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), does not have standardized meanings as prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Noble Iron’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure in evaluating Noble Iron’s performance and in determining whether to invest in its common shares. Readers of this information are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Noble Iron’s performance, or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as measures of Noble Iron’s liquidity and cash flows. Noble Iron’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, Noble Iron’s Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
